Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Admin criteria

This page is part of the overall voluntary and unofficial admin recall process and supporting material. It is a list of criteria developed by various admins who are members of Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall, as well as others interested in adminship who are not yet admins. Only the admin themselves should add their information to this table, as the recall process itself is voluntary, and so is making criteria or process information known in advance (although some would strongly encourage it). In addition to the criteria and processes developed by individual editors, a default process is available.

Criteria list

Admin / Admin Hopeful	Criteria	Process Descriptions	Notes
A. B.	criteria	process	For now, I am committed to using the same process Lar has laid out so meticulously at User talk:Lar/Accountability
Adam Cuerden	criteria	process	Per Lar's suggestions.
Alex Bakharev	criteria	process	from August 2006
Alison	criteria	process	Inspired by Fvasconcellos and Lar. May simplify, but it'll do for the moment.
anetode			I will relinquish the admin bit by request of five editors in good standing or one administrator who has earned my respect. Lar's recall disclaimers apply.
AnonEMouse	criteria	process	Shame that something so simple has to be converted into "party of the first part shall be referred to as the party of the first part...", but so it goes.
Archtransit	criteria	process
Audacity	criteria	process	Firsfron's standards look good
BanyanTree	criteria	process	Requires another admin subject to recall for a kick-off, while keeping the rest pretty simple. A tradeoff between broad accountability and avoiding unnecessary drama and process.
Barneca	criteria	process	Pretty simple. An admin conduct RfC can escalate into a recall if 4 users in good standing indicate I should resign.
Carcharoth	criteria	process	I wish it could be simpler, but the 28 December 2007 page versions I've linked to in Lar's page detail the criteria and process for anyone wishing to ask me to stand for recall. Please check the current version for any major changes - these will not apply unless I update the links here.
David Fuchs	criteria	process	A straight-forward, three-prong description of my method.
Dreadstar	criteria	process	Inspired by EVula's fine work.
Ev	criteria	process	Using Lar's criteria & process for now.
EVula	criteria	process	Pretty straight-forward, and gives the requesting editor a decent shot at having me de-sysopped if I deserve it.
Firsfron	criteria	process	Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Friday	some thoughts		Start an RFC-like discussion. If there is significant consensus that I've been misusing the tools and should give them up, that's what I'll do.
Fvasconcellos	criteria	process	Not as simple as I'd like. May revise soon.
Herbythyme	criteria	process	I agree with the process & criteria created by Lar. I'd prefer something simpler but I'll anchor my process and criteria for now.
hmwith	process, criteria, & notes		Summary: I'll put myself through an RfC if another admin suggests that I should. If 5 "good standing" editors voice their opinions for me to resign, I will. Inspired by Friday & John.
Husond	criteria	process	Will relinquish administrator status with 6 editors in good standing's requests in a period no longer than 4 months.
Hut 8.5	criteria	process	Includes elements from a few other peoples' recall criteria.
John	criteria	process	Revised long-standing accountability policy (which was initially based on Lar's since August 2006) in light of recent thinking. I will link to Lar's process; I don't believe it is a good use of our time for every admin to think up their own and Lar's is very good
James086	criteria	process	My recall page is pretty short but it does the job I think.
kbthompson	criteria	process	Lar's process seems fine for now. Should I find a better one, or a wider consensus emerge, I reserve the right to change my choice.
Keilana	Criteria	Process	Less liberal than before, based off of EVula's requirements. Still somewhat liberal.
Kirill Lokshin	criteria	process	Very simple; the basic idea is borrowed from Shell Kinney.
KrakatoaKatie	criteria	process	Unabashedly stolen from EVula while I think about it some more, but I don't think I'll change it much.
Kubigula	criteria	process	Based on Lar's and some others.
Lar	criteria	process	Extensively revised in mid December 2007 to include detailed process descriptions, has talk page for comments and feedback.
Leithp	criteria	process	Very simple, stolen from several others.
Merovingian	criteria	process	I'm trying to keep this really simple.
Mtmelendez	criteria	process	It's simpler than it looks.
Nightstallion	criteria	process	I'll be using the very well developed criteria and process written up by Lar, as well. (The version linked to applies.)
Pigman	criteria	process	Completely ripped from Firsfron. Simple and sweet, no complications.
Remember the dot	criteria and process
Revolving Bugbear	criteria	process	I plan to write my own criteria at some point, but until then, I will use Lar's.
Riana	criteria	process	Not as liberal as I'd like it to be, I'll try revising it in the coming days. Any feedback welcome :)
Royalguard11	criteria	process	To the point I think.
Sarcasticidealist	criteria	process	The process and criteria will be listed by the end of January 18, Mountain Standard Time
Sean William	criteria	process	Short, simple, to the point.
SebastianHelm	process and notes		Avoiding bureaucratic overhead so we all can focus on creating a good encyclopedia.
Shell Kinney	criteria	process	Pretty basic stuff, I think
Singularity	criteria	process	Should be relatively simple...actually a combination of User:David Fuchs's and User:Husond's criteria.
SirFozzie	criteria	process	Will relinquish administrator status with five editors in good standing's request.
Spike Wilbury	criteria	process	Simple criteria and process.
Tbo 157	criteria	process	Will resign or start an RfC. Consensus will be judged by an uninvolved trusted user selected by the clerk.
Tim Vickers	criteria	process	Simple approach from Firsfron
utcursch	criteria and process		I'll step down upon a request from 5 users in good standing.
Walton One		criteria and process	My own distinct criteria and process. I will step down on the request of any three users in good standing.
Warofdreams	criteria	process	Using Lar's comprehensive criteria and process, for now at least.
Woody	criteria	process	Follow Lar's processes of RfC or resignation.
xDanielx	criteria and process		Fairly typical; involves RFCU
Y	criteria and process		Will take to ArbCom or relinquish administrator status outright upon request of five administrators in good standing.
Yannismarou	criteria and process		Based on Firsfron and Y

Note: this page was copy/paste moved from Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall/Admin criteria (because you cannot move a category page to a non category page). For the early edit history of this page, or for any GFDL related concerns, you should refer to that page's edit history. Admins should consider revalidating their listing by a null edit to this page. If that is done by all admins present when this was copy/pasted, that page can be deleted but for now it will remain a soft redirect.
